Navy Tests HeliTAWS on SH-60

Sandel Avionics has wrapped up U.S. Navy ground testing of its ST3400H HeliTAWS using a Sikorsky SH-60 test bed. The wire and terrain avoidance system was integrated with the helicopter’s existing avionics and electrical systems. The system incorporates WireWatch with TrueAlert, allowing pilots to take off, cruise, hover and land at off-airport locations without encountering nuisance alerts, while still being able to receive Class-A terrain and obstacle warnings during the flight. Now that ground tests are complete, Sandel plans to install a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) HeliTAWS unit on an SH-60F for flight testing.
